Did a little ghost hunting and then some colonial detecting

[vpone]

hey all,

boy, we had an awesome weekend here !

had some friends of ours up from Gettysburg who wanted to try their hand at colonial detecting here in central pa, they're into civil war relic hunting down near the battlefield AND they are BIG into ghost hunting

so I remembered an old, unoccupied 1850's home on one of our detecting sites and contacted the farmer to get permission to do a little ghost hunting friday nite - he said "sure go ahead" and actually ended up tagging along with us and about 8 other people while our friends conducted an investigation of the home - the place was huge, old and spooky beyond belief - it was a BLAST, definately one of those nights you don't soon forget !

anyway we took them out to a couple sites the next day and showed them what to look for when hunting colonial spots
i found an 1803 large cent and the most lead i think for me ever for a single day

great weekend all the way around

thanks for looking

Great job on the LC Bro!
Did anyone soil themselves at the ghost hunt?
That's some creepy stuff.

Hi Kevin,
Congrats on some nice digs...I like the LC.

Me and the wife were invited to a seance right before Halloween. I'm not normally into that sort of thing but to get into the spirit of Halloween I figured what the heck. The medium was Jane Doherty and it was pretty freaky. Whether it is real or not she is very good and spot on with stuff. Saw her on one of those ghost hunting shows a few nights ago. Interesting stuff.

Wait wait wait...ghosts, no ghosts, wth? Are your friends serious ghost hunters with serious ghost hunting toys? Great finds by the way, lol, but I want more more more! P.S. Go back, there's more to be found!

Some days I think I'll find my first ghost before I find my first gold coin
